I'm a complete and total noob here, and I was wondering if you could help me out...

This is probably very basic stuff, but here it is:

I'm trying to create a counter that increments a number every time it receives a bang..... the counter so far works just fine, but I want to be able to reset it:

[inlet bang]
|
[O]
\
[f 0]X[+ 1]
\
[outlet number]

(I'm horrible at drawing patches in the browser, so far....)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Send a number to the right inlet of the [f] to reset it:

[inlet bang]
|
[O] [0( <--bang this to reset to 0
\ /
[f 0]X[+ 1]
\
[outlet number]

If you want it to reset when it reaches a certain number (say 10), stick a [select 10] after the [+ 1] and have it bang the [0(.

or mod for 11

[inlet bang]
|
[O]
|
[f 0]X[+ 1]
|
[%10]
|
[outlet number]

counts 0 to 10
